00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:09,920
welcome to Techquickie today we're going to show you how to install your Intel CPU using LGA 1156 or 1155 as fast

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:14,920
as possible the first step is to find the little Golden Triangle on your CPU

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,519
and align that with either the little plastic triangle on the cover

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:25,279
or once you've removed the cover the metal triangle that is on the CPU socket

5
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:30,039
itself in The Next Step push the retention ARM lever down pull away from

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:36,280
the socket and then it will loosen it self you can then pull it up and move

7
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:38,120
the hold down bracket out of the way

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:45,120
after that remembering where the gold triangle of points place don't press

9
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:49,920
place the CPU into the socket giving it a slight wiggle just to ensure that it

10
00:00:47,199 --> 00:00:54,520
is seated correctly lower the hold down plate making sure that it actually sits

11
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:58,399
under this screw right here then lower the retention ARM until you feel some

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:03,079
resistance brace yourself because this does take a little bit of force push it

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,320
down all the way pull out and then make sure that it's pinned by the hook on the

14
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,960
retention plate the heat sink included with your CPU comes with a quality

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,360
thermal compound pre-applied however there is a trick with these push pin

16
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,400
style heat sinks and that is if you're reusing it you not only need to reapply

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,479
new thermal compound but watch out for

18
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,799
these arrows right here you can see that they do rotate 90° so I'm going to turn

19
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:32,240
it in the direction of the arrow turning it the direction the arrows pointed

20
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:36,159
optimizes it for removal turning it away from that direction optimizes it for

21
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:40,960
installation so we want to make sure they'll they're all turned clockwise

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,040
before we install it when positioning the heat sink over the socket make sure

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
that the plastic pins stick through all four holes in the motherboard the

24
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:53,920
easiest way to check this is to rotate the heat sink a little bit and see if

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,600
all of the pins move just like this if they do then they should all be through

26
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:02,920
the holes you also want to make sure that you have enough slack on the CPU

27
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:07,000
fan wire to reach the CPU fan header on your motherboard the safest way to

28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:12,560
tighten the heat sink on is to apply force on opposite

29
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,360
Corners at the same time there are two ways to tell that the installation was

30
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,080
successful number one is to listen for the distinctive

31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:27,720
click the other way is to flip the board over and make sure that the black

32
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:32,760
plastic sticks out as far as the white plastic if it doesn't it's possible that

33
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,080
you'll have to tighten it a little bit there we go now we heard the click these

34
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:42,239
inel heat sinks often come with the fan wires wrapped in such a way that the fan

35
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:47,040
blades can't move unless you loosen them so take them

36
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,239
out what I often do is Twist them up

37
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,519
tuck them away somewhere safe and then plug them into the labeled CPU fan

38
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,640
header on the motherboard thanks for checking out this

39
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,200
episode of fast as possible make sure you subscribe to Techquickie and also

40
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,440
like the video it helps us out a lot share this video with anyone who you

41
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,239
think would benefit from it including embedding it on your website consider

42
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:11,319
this my go-ahead to well go ahead also
